Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liotta, A., Knight, G., & Pavlou, G. (1998). Modelling network and system monitoring over the Internet with mobile agents. In NOMS 98 1998 IEEE Network Operations and Management Symposium (303-312). https://doi.org/10.1109/NOMS.1998.654338

Distributed Network Management is gaining importance due to the explosive growth of the size of computer networks. New management paradigms are being proposed as an alternative to the centralised one, and new technologies and programming languages ar...

A software tool for evaluating navigation. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCall, R., & Benyon, D. (1998). A software tool for evaluating navigation. In Proceedings of WebNet World Conference on the WWW and Internet 1999 (1723)

Traditional methods of usability evaluation ignore some aspects related to navigation. In contrast the navigation in information space paradigm sees the user as situated within the space. The ENiSpace (Evaluating Navigation in Information Space) syst... Read More about A software tool for evaluating navigation..

Some observations about GA-based exam timetabling. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., Hart, E., & Corne, D. (1998). Some observations about GA-based exam timetabling. In E. Burke, & M. Carter (Eds.), Practice and Theory of Automated Timetabling II (115-129)

Although many people have tried using genetic algorithms (GAs) for exam timetabling, far fewer have done systematic investigations to try to determine whether a GA is a good choice of method or not. We have extensively studied GAs that use one partic... Read More about Some observations about GA-based exam timetabling..

An adaptive mutation scheme for a penalty-based graph-colouring GA. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ross, P., & Hart, E. (1998). An adaptive mutation scheme for a penalty-based graph-colouring GA. In A. E. Eiben, T. Back, M. Schoenauer, & H. Schwefel (Eds.), Parallel Problem Solving from Nature V (795-802). https://doi.org/10.1007/BFb0056921

The folklore of evolutionary algorithms still seems to contain some gross over-generalistions, such as that direct encodings are inferior to indirect ones, that penalty-function methods are often poor, and that observed performance on a few instances...

Timetabling the classes of an entire university with an evolutionary algorithm. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paechter, B., Rankin, B., Cumming, A., & Fogarty, T. C. (1998). Timetabling the classes of an entire university with an evolutionary algorithm. In T. Beck, & M. Schoenauer (Eds.), Parallel Problem Solving from Nature - PPSN V (865-874). https://doi.org/10

This paper describes extensions to an evolutionary algorithm that timetables classes for an entire University. A new method of dealing with multi-objectives is described along with a user interface designed for it. New results are given concerning re...
